When it comes to Howie Mandel, the first thing that comes to mind is positivism and laughter.
According to IMDb, he started his career in showbiz by pure chance. A producer noticed him during an amateur night at the Comedy Store on the L.A. Sunset Strip during a vacation after his friends convinced him to try it out.
Today, Mandel is one of the most famous names in the world of entertainment. A TV celebrity, screenwriter, actor, producer, director, entrepreneur, and popular game show panelist/host, you name it, Mandel has tried it all and proved that he’s great in all of it.
Recently, however, he decided to open up about his mental state and confessed he’s been battling anxiety, ADHD, and OCD most of his life. The truth is that no one can really assume that someone as fun as Mandel could be going through such a thing.
“I’m living in a nightmare,” he declared. ” I work to ground myself. I love what I do and have a lovely family. However, I can also experience severe sadness from which I can never recover.”
This turned even worse during the COVID-19 pandemic when we were forced into lockdown. Mandel revealed to People magazine that there was no day the thought “we would die” didn’t cross his mind. But the fact that no one from his closest surrounding was affected gave him comfort.
Although he was diagnosed in his thirties, Mandal knows he had OCD and ADHD since forever. He, however, didn’t speak of his mental state openly because he believed it would affect his career. “My first reaction was that I’ve embarrassed my family,” he admitted. “Then I realized that nobody would hire someone who wasn’t stable. Those were my concerns.”
It was comedy that helped him during the toughest times in his life.
“My coping mechanism is finding the humorous,” he declared. “If I’m not smiling, I’m probably sobbing. And I’ve still held back on how horrible and dark it actually gets. In a way, comedy saved me. I feel very much at ease on stage. And when I have nothing to do, I retreat, which is not healthy
Mandel’s goal is to help raise awareness about mental illness and break the stigma.

Snoopy in real life: dog named Bayley is the cartoon dog’s identical twin
Everyone adores Snoopy, one of the most well-known cartoon dogs in the world and Charlie Brown’s intrepid pet beagle.
The internet is currently obsessed with a real-life pet dog named Bayley who looks just like Snoopy.
There is an eerie similarity. Despite being a Mini Sheepadoodle and Snoopy being a beagle, Bayley’s white body and black ears make her seem like Snoopy’s twin.
The Instagram page @doodledogsclub published a picture of Bayley beside the adored Peanuts pet, referring to her as “the spitting image of Snoopy.” This post caused Bayley to become well-known overnight.
The account stated, “Bailey is the perfect real-life version of our favorite cartoon dog, with those big ears and that button nose.” On Instagram, the picture has gotten more than 1.2 million likes.
With more than 180,000 followers on Instagram, Bayley is also a prominent figure on the platform.
The page is updated by Bayley’s owners with pictures of the adorable dog having the time of her life. In one video, the dog is shown sipping from a Starbucks “pup cup.”
A mix between a small poodle and an old English sheepdog, Bayley is a mini sheepadoodle. The hybrid breed is renowned for having a joyful and amiable temperament.
Since his 1950 comic strip debut, Snoopy has become one of the most well-known characters in the world. However, the real dog named Spike, who belonged to Peanuts author Charles M. Schulz, served as the inspiration for the character.
